I have 3 beautiful Tufina a pionier Chicago a thoerema Kingston and both those watch was not 50 % discount I pay under 1000 for each and all my tufina say made in Germany right on the back I pick up another one the pionier Milano for 650 now that was about 50% doing the holidays and it say made in Germany!! so you buddy there got himself a knockoff!!!! Regardless what people think I get more compliments on my tufina watches then any other watches and I do wear my Daytona Rolex and other high end brand that don’t even get noticed.. !! I actually love my tufina watches and they are very comfortable to wear no problem what so ever !!!
You work for Tufima? I'm being serious. I have a few Daytonas and would never buy a watch like this. If they advertise on Facebook or UA-cam it's crap.
Owning or not owning a Daytona doesn't make Tufina a good watch. Imho it's China-crap and i'm sure the label "Made in Germany" is garbage or achieved by buying a bankrupt german company to produce this stuff.
Just received my first Tufina. Got a black and gold automatic Saint Petersburg, look amazing, definitely feel cheaper than a swiss made one but cost me less than 500 Usd. So, great looking watch, mid quality, cheap price.
I've had my theroma for 3 years now and the quality and build is amazing, definitely a head turner and you cant get the model I've got anymore, it was limited edition 😉
My wife bought me one. The website says assembled in Germany which is a good bit different than made in Germany. I live on a disability salary due to an injury in the military so that limited the price point she was buying in. For a lower end watch and a novice watch guy it is great. I’ll cherish it because she bought it for me but I’d say it’s made in China and is fine at the price after the discount. It’s the nicest watch I own.
Great review. Respect that you try to be as positive as possible to your colleagues choice of watch. A watch is a personal choice to feel happy with. If you look at how Tufina advertises its watches, it's a red flag for me. I missed the We Skipped The Middle Man theme😂 The established brands should ask themselves why they don't advertise more on social media to reach a younger public.
I considered them however they are still one of the cheapest Tourbillion automatic time pieces you can buy but even at $4000 aud is a bit steep for misleading product (genuinely made in Germany) I bought a “scale version” Fenlon automatic glove watch with fake rainbow diamonds on outer dial looks great and works well too
I have played with a few Chinese movements, they are quite beautiful. Newcomers to the hobby need to be aware that a lot of the smaller German brands will use Japanese and Chinese movements and still write either German or Made in Germany on them. Watches encased, polished and regulated in Germany and even Switzerland for that matter can still bear the name of those countries. A bit of research would have helped here, beautiful watch for $200 or so, not so much $800. Great channel, love the format.
The fact that their website prices are in usd when they say they operate out of Germany where Euro is the currency says alot, I've seen these watches on Instagram a few times shortly after I looked up the god tier watch Casio G-shock
I was just on the website and will be buying some of these German Made watches. If you look at the site, the watches say right on them "Made in Germany". This is an old company.
Man I feel bad for dude, definitely spot on about the marketing trap. The funny part is the watch he bought had had pioneer on it. If he paid a little more he could have got a real Pioneer model as in a Hanhart which is made in Germany made in house and well respected just saying...
A lot of mixed reviews here. Is this a good or a bad watch? I want an honest and none biased review from people who actually OWNED or OWN a Tufina watch. Thank you
I bought a mechanical watch from them 4 years ago for around 500 USD, simplest mechanism there is nothing fancy. I wear it almost everyday and I am a bit rough on it with light workshop work. My experience is that it is very sturdy and holds well against wear, I was kinda expecting it to easily take scratches but it withstands more than you would think. Mine got city names engraved around the glass and the color inside these quickly wore off tho. I got the band changed locally as it came apart after 3,5 years and recently the retaining mechanism is looking like it's coming loose and fails to hold more than a few hours of energy, this has however resolved itself and the screw looks back in place again. Overall it's a cool looking watch getting a lot of attention. If you expect a Rolex you be dissapointed, if you expect Temu/AliExpress you be positively surprised. Some of their watches are really expensive and if the quality is the same as mine it is probably too much for what it is, biggest downside is that it's quite loud, if you sit in a class type situation a person directly next to you can hear it. But if you really like the look and have money to spare for something you wear for years then it's a product I can recommend. I remember the joy mine gave me and still does every day.
I'm going to give you my unbiased opinion. I got a Tufina watch from a gift. At first I immediately thought, "this is probably China crap." Then I held it in my hand, wore it, and said wow! This is a true timepiece that feels good when it's worn, beautiful to stare at, and doesn't scratch easily. I've owned the watch for 5+ years now and every time I go out, men/women compliment the watch. I don't work for them, and I'm not sponsored by them (I wish). I just truly enjoy a great looking and feeling watch and this is one of them.
@@Marcofrommiami that’s good to hear. Glad you like your watch that much 😂. I am honestly considering buying one because they are cheap, look good, and comments such as yours are telling me that it is of good quality. Cheers for the comment!
@@BrianCassidy-hb9pg Seiko is incredible, but it lacks that creative design that Tufina has. I am looking for something different rather than a traditional look.
Sales on almost each watch of >70%, prices in dollar instead of Euro and they way they bombard us with the "made in Germany" slogan a trillion times in each ad just makes me veeery sceptical about this company.
Ty so much for this review, I was on the verge of ordering these watches, 2 for the upcoming Father’s Day, and I paused to check reviews on the brand, they are gorgeous, but perhaps not as they are being marketed, I really appreciate your unbiased evaluation.
My opinion on Tufina: I don’t buy the story behind this company about them established 1800s. However what I’m more certain of is that they are newly established company run by an east European people who managed to get their part from China to make luxury looking watches affordable to the regular Joes. I have came across some other companies who are doing the exact same thing such as : Sugess Era prometheus Earnshaw The only sketchy part about Tufina is that there aren’t many unboxing reviews on it online specially on UA-cam and the other two brands have reasonable reviews and mentions
These watches are a good time pice, originally created from Tufina brothers from Albania. They are now produced in Germany. Good looking watches and will last you a long time. You're buying Albanian History.
My gf bought me a watch from them for my birthday, it stopped two months later. : )) sent it back, believe it or not, it came back not working. They said they changed the whole mechanism, and it was still not working. It's clear it's a scam, maybe using Chinese cheap mechanisms, operating under the Made in Germany umbrella. Sent it back again, they have not received it, and I stopped wasting money on the transport. It's a total rip off. Don't waste your money folks. These are not even worth 50 bucks imo. There are better options out there for who has some basic knowledge about watches. You can easily buy a Tissot or a Seiko with these prices, and last you easily decades.
1ST THING I ASK ABOUT AN AUTOMATIC WATCH IS WHATS THE MOVEMENT, REGARDLESS BRAND. IF ITS A CHINA MOVEMENT THEN I KNOW IF I EVEN WANT TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK.
I own 3 Tufina watched for almost 10 years and the watches are beautiful the Oman, Macu and Lagos. Everywhere I go people are attracted to my watch and took it to a high-end jewelry store and they asked me where I got it from. This is a terrible review!

Same for me mate. The know it all "keyboard worriers". Have had their watch for awhile and am thinking to get a 2nd one.
You work for Tufima? I'm being serious. I have a few Daytonas and would never buy a watch like this. If they advertise on Facebook or UA-cam it's crap.
lol you don’t own a Daytona
People with Daytonas don’t say “Daytona Rolex” you’ve never owned a Daytona
Owning or not owning a Daytona doesn't make Tufina a good watch. Imho it's China-crap and i'm sure the label "Made in Germany" is garbage or achieved by buying a bankrupt german company to produce this stuff.

At least you accept it’s not fancy

We have all been there mate! So don't be down about it!

I never owned one, but I can guarantee that you will be able to get a better watch for the same price.
Get yourself a Seiko

Very interesting
I just ordered the Casablanca watch and was shipped out from Germany.
Sales on almost each watch of >70%, prices in dollar instead of Euro and they way they bombard us with the "made in Germany" slogan a trillion times in each ad just makes me veeery sceptical about this company.
Assembled in Germany parts are Chinese
Ty so much for this review, I was on the verge of ordering these watches, 2 for the upcoming Father’s Day, and I paused to check reviews on the brand, they are gorgeous, but perhaps not as they are being marketed, I really appreciate your unbiased evaluation.
Glad to hear it! Welcome! What is your budget.. and who you are buying for? We may be able to point you towards the right direction.
Lessons were learned...
My opinion on Tufina:
I don’t buy the story behind this company about them established 1800s. However what I’m more certain of is that they are newly established company run by an east European people who managed to get their part from China to make luxury looking watches affordable to the regular Joes. I have came across some other companies who are doing the exact same thing such as :
Sugess
Era prometheus
Earnshaw
The only sketchy part about Tufina is that there aren’t many unboxing reviews on it online specially on UA-cam and the other two brands have reasonable reviews and mentions
Racist much? I am Eastern European, so what? Their history it's easy proven. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tirana_Clock_Tower
Sugess is Chinese they don't claim to be from Europe
These watches are a good time pice, originally created from Tufina brothers from Albania. They are now produced in Germany. Good looking watches and will last you a long time. You're buying Albanian History.
When watch is 50-70% off on Facebook , that’s a red flag

REGARDLESS BRAND. IF ITS A CHINA MOVEMENT THEN I KNOW
IF I EVEN WANT TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK.
😢
Good review. Teach people about shit brands
It looks like a lige watch I bought one for 15 dollars
I prefer to have a Original Seiko for 300$ than this fake China Watch 😂
But they look nothing alike
I own 3 Tufina watched for almost 10 years and the watches are beautiful the Oman, Macu and Lagos. Everywhere I go people are attracted to my watch and took it to a high-end jewelry store and they asked me where I got it from. This is a terrible review!
They’re sh💩t
You’re not a watch expert. These are shit watches to trick people with no knowledge. They asked where you got it cuz they wanna avoid it lmao
And you’re a wanna be baller lmao
I bought one. what a shit looking watch it is. 12 dollars is what it is worth. nothing more...
